Millea to be guest speaker at New Ulm Club Banquet

NEW ULM – The Minnesota State High School League’s John Millea will be the guest speaker for the New Ulm Club Athletic Appreciation Banquet on April 5.

The event, in its 60th year, is held every year to honor the senior letterwinners of both the boy’s and girl’s teams within New Ulm’s three high schools. It will be held at the Martin Luther College gymnasium in New Ulm.

Millea, who works as a media specialist for the MSHSL, grew up in Graettinger, Iowa, and worked as a journalist after graduating from Drake University and Arizona State. He worked as a reporter in multiple Iowa locales before getting hired on at the Arizona Republic in Phoenix.

Millea had since spent 20 years at the Minneapolis Star Tribune, where he covered all four major professional sports as well as high school and college athletics.

Tickets are available for the event at Nicklasson Athletic on Broadway.
